A .org domain for organizations and causes

## The idea behind .org

.org was created in 1985 for organizations. Associations, foundations and nonprofits traditionally choose it, but the rule is not enforced: today anyone can register one. That makes .org a natural fit for any project that serves a community more than it sells something.

## .org domains: frequently asked questions

### Do I need to be a nonprofit to buy a .org?

No. Organizations traditionally choose .org, but there is no restriction: anyone can register one, person or business, without any documents.

### Is .org a good fit for a business?

You can use it, but people link .org with organizations and causes. For a business that sells products or services, .com, .co or .shop usually make the purpose clearer.

### Can I switch my domain from .org to .com later?

A domain cannot change its extension: .org and .com are two separate domains. You can buy both and connect your website to the one you prefer, keeping the other so nobody else takes it.

### Can I use my .org domain with a website built here?

Yes. Create your website for free, turn on Premium and choose Connect to a site under Domains. We add the DNS records and the SSL certificate, so your .org address opens over HTTPS within minutes.
